Chemical Structure

Acetylcysteine Impurity N1 CAS 6436-58-4 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Acetylcysteine Impurity N1 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

Acetylcysteine Impurity N1 (CAS 6436-58-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C6H9NO2S and a molecular weight of 159.21 g/mol.

Structurally, Acetylcysteine Impurity N1 (C6H9NO2S) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 159.21 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.
